The Musical America Guide To February 2020 The Musical America Guide to Top COMPETITIONS Editor’s Note Compiling what is likely the most comprehensive Guide to Competitions available may seem like a straightforward task but, rest assured, it is not. The competitions we contact provide the usual information—application deadlines, eligibility rules, artistic disciplines, frequency, dates, fees, and more. But the application dates may not yet be set in stone (“late Spring 2022”), or the date has already passed but the competition has not (“December 3, 2019”/”June 3, 2020”), or the deadline has passed but can be stretched with a late fee attached, or maybe the applications are not even open yet. Additional variables: Is the competition national? International? Statewide? Continental? What about the jury members? Are any of them teachers and, if so, are their students allowed to compete? (That’s always a good one for discussion after the winners are announced.) Is there an equal number of men and women on the jury? Of performers and, say, general directors or other administrative types? Is the screening jury distinct from live/finals jury? Eligibility rules may seem straightforward, but the evidence indicates otherwise: In vocal competitions, the age range for men and women is different; the same can be said for multi-instrument contests. The hardest to categorize, both from an age and instrumental makeup, are the ensembles; in addition to the usual piano trio or string quartet, what about a group between five and nine pieces with no more than two pianos? Then there’s the ensemble age: some competitions set a youngest- and oldest-member age, others a median member age, others a sum of the parts. One sets an age for the group’s existence with the same or a few different members as of the application date. The Musical America Guide to Top What about applications materials? Video? Audio only? Bound score fully recorded? Letters of recommendation? Application fee? How much? Prizes are all over the lot, too, ranging from no cash to $100,000, from management COMPETITIONS and pre-booked recitals to mentoring and concerto dates with orchestras, to all of the above. We run all those disparate elements through our filter to make the result as useful as possible. We hope it’s helpful, both to aspiring talent and to those trying to find the bright future stars.

  • Weekly Commentary
    Weekly Commentary October 21, 2019 The Mother Of All Golden Oldies More than 3,400 years ago in the Mediterranean port city of Ugarit, now part of Syria, an unknown composer wrote a hymn in praise of Nikkal, the wife of the moon god. The words and music were carefully chiseled into a stone tablet. It is the oldest surviving song in the world. The tablet was discovered in the 1950s, but it wasn't until the 1970s that University of California at Berkeley Professor Anne Kilmer was able to decipher some of the cuneiform figures on it as musical notation. She recognized them from other Babylonian tablets she had already analyzed, including a four-thousand-year-old instruction manual for tuning an ancient stringed instrument called a lyre. The song appeared to have been written in a seven-note scale similar to the one we use today. Amazingly, Kilmer was able to reconstruct a version of the song note for note, so that the lost tune could be played once again for modern ears. A little late for royalties, however. The song is written in the ancient Hurrian language. The exact lyrics are unclear, although the name of Nikkal is easily recognizable, and Kilmer has translated one phrase as "Thou lovest them in thy heart." Versions of the "Hymn to Nikkal" have been recorded by several modern artist including musicologist Richard Crocker and Syrian Pianist Malek Jandali. The exact location of the Bronze Age city of Ugarit was unknown to modern archaeologist until a syrian farmer accidentally opened an old tomb while plowing a field.

  • Cinema Ritrovato Di Gian Luca Farinelli, Vittorio Martinelli, Nicola Mazzanti, Mark-Paul Meyer, Ruud Visschedijk
    Cinema Ritrovato di Gian Luca Farinelli, Vittorio Martinelli, Nicola Mazzanti, Mark-Paul Meyer, Ruud Visschedijk Iniziamo dalla foto che abbiamo scelto per il manifesto, perché è un’immagine rivelatrice dell’identità di questo festival. Ad un primo sguardo non suscita un interesse particolare. È la foto di scena di un film qualsiasi prodotto in un periodo in cui di cinema se ne faceva tanto, un’immagine come tante. Però se la guardiamo meglio vediamo che al centro della foto c’è uno dei grandi attori del cinema italiano, Aldo Fabrizi, il Don Pietro di Roma città aperta, alle prese con la giustizia. Ci accorgiamo anche che il set è il lato sud di Piazza Maggiore; si scorgono il Palazzo del Podestà, San Petronio, il Nettuno, Palazzo de’ Banchi. L’immagine inizia a intrigarci. Siccome il cinema italiano è da sempre fortemente romano, pochissimi sono stati i film girati a Bologna, almeno sino agli anni ’60. Ecco perché Hanno rubato un tram, il film da cui abbiamo sottratto quest’immagine, è una vera scoperta che ci giunge dal passato. Nonostante si tratti di una piccola produzione, di un film modesto, di cui all’epoca nessuno si accorse, poterlo vedere oggi è un’esperienza straordinaria perché ci porta nella Bologna di quarantasei anni fa e ci fa sentire tutta la distanza del tempo, le dimensioni della trasformazione, l’ampiezza dei cambiamenti, esperienza tanto più forte perché si tratta di immagini inaspettate di un film dimenticabile, che nessuno vedeva più da decenni. Il film è anche un curioso incontro tra generazioni diverse del cinema italiano.

  • Land of Diversity Where Is Syria?
    Syria Syria Land of Diversity Where is Syria? ■ Syria is located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea in south-western Asia. ■ Syria enjoys a beautiful and diverse nature: from sandy beaches, green mountainous regions to fertile plains. History ■ Located at the heart of the ancient world, Syria was historically a crossroad for commerce and trade. Syria is commonly known as the cradle of civilizations as many of the greatest human achievements began in Syria. ■ The Hittites, Assyrians, Akkadians, Greeks, Romans, Umayyads, Ayyubids, Mameluks and Ottomans all left their stamps on the Syrian culture and history. ■ There is 6 locations in Syria already on the Unesco World Heritage List and 12 more on the Tentative List. Ugarit ■ In Ugarit, located in present-day Latakia, the oldest and first written alphabet in the World was developed there around 1400 BC ■ Syria is also a center for music and art – the first composed music or melody originated from Ugarit ■ There are many ancient historical sites and artifacts in Syria as numerous civilizations and empires inhabited the area throughout history. Syria has seen many great human accomplishments that have impacted the world, some of which are still used today. Palmyra ■ Palmyra is an ancient Semitic city located in present-day Homs. The empire was wealthy and established many colonies along the silk road. ■ Zenobia, a queen of Palmyra was a strong female figure in history as she became ruler after her husband’s death in year 267. Emesa ■ Presently known as the city of Homs, Emesa was a great Roman empire ■ Julia Dumna, the empress, is also considered to be a powerful female figure in Syrian history as she defied gender expectations of the time and involved herself in important political matters.

This is especially true when the performance is done by brilliant musicians. The European Broadcasting Union’s Eurovision Young Musicians is an impressive event, in the best sense of the word. It is not any old talent show, to be quickly forgotten. No, this competition provides a spring- board for talented young solo performers of classical music to enter the international scene. I am delighted that this year’s Eurovision Young Musicians is held in Cologne, a city known for its enthusiastic audienc- es and home to renowned symphony and chamber orches- tras as well as the University of Music and Dance. For one week, musical artists from 14 countries are demon- strating their technical brilliance and artistic flair. And they are well motivated: many international celebrity artists started out at the Eurovision Young Musician, the final in Cologne’s central Roncalliplatz square will be broadcast live to a European audience and the winner will be given the op- portunity to perform with the Vienna Philharmonic. Now, if that is not an incentive, I don’t know what is.

  • Aragón and Valencia
    ARAGÓN AND VALÈNCIA Aragón and València “The jota is at its best with the scent of rosemary and fresh-plowed earth,” says the opening song on this CD. An infectious collection of danced and sung jotas, archaic threshing songs, May courting songs, struck zither tunes, raucous shawms and lyrical strings, travelling down from the mountains of Aragón to the fertile coast of València. The Spanish Recordings Alan Lomax made these historic recordings in 1952 while traveling for months through Spanish villages, under formidable physical and political circumstances, during the Franco regime. Covering the breadth of Spain, these songs and dance melodies constitute a portrait of rural Spain’s richly varied musical life, dispelling the common stereotypes of Spanish folk music. The Alan Lomax Collection The Alan Lomax Collection gathers together the American, European, and Caribbean field recordings, world music compilations, and ballad operas of writer, folklorist, and ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Recorded in 1952 by Alan Lomax. Introductions and notes by Luis Bajén García and Mario Gros Herrero (Aragón), Archivo de Tradición Oral de Aragón (ATOA); and Josemi Sánchez Velasco (València), Consellería de Cultura, Educació i Ciència, Generalitat de València.
